Formerly I, now StGI until I die. Didn't renew my RedV membership this year (though overseas for half the season) because I can no longer tolerate the governance of the club.
Guess I fall into the McGreggor apologist camp because I really see potential in the guy as a man manager. Held high hopes that Demetriou might have been able to help our structures but by now, my patience has well and truly worn thin seeing him burried with the cutters.
I guess the rot became most obvious to me when Mulholland left. I have no doubt that the board never gave him the autonomy he needed to help build our roster. I'm a firm believer that our squad is a fringe top 8 team on paper at best. McGreggor achieving that however has been done in such an uninspiring way that it actually makes the team hard to watch.
The rot starts at the top and it's hard not to feel that ousting doust and the other dinosaurs on the board would signal a change in fortunes almost immediately. Any decisions on coaching or personnel that this current board oversees is likely to end badly, that's why I'm hesitant to think that a change in football ops staff will bear any fruit. If anything, any ad hoc changes will just serve to offer the board a scapegoat and buy them more time.
Fix the governance tomorrow and if the new powers that be want to shake things up the following day, I'll totally support that. Until then, I struggle to see the point.
